What Would You Guys Do With This Video
Hey guys, I just uploaded my very first video to youtube so you guys can hopefully give me some tips on how to mix my guitar. Im just a guitar player who wants to have fun and post some good audio/video quality stuff on my youtube channel that other people will hopefully enjoy too.
The video link has the description of everything i used as well. I added no effects to the track and had no effects in my guitar setup either. I know my lighting is bad and that track for sure needs mixing, I'm just lost as of where to begin. Im not too concerned with effects at the moment, mainly just eq. what do you guys think? hopefully you guys enjoy the song if anything:D https://youtu.be/lNLwVkKR80Q |

Well, I enjoyed it at least.
Not really my kind of music but sounds like good stuff. I really can't help you to mix it. Basic mixing is just a question of good listening environment and lots of experience. Couple of basic things to have in mind, though, is do not rely on headphones. I hope you have two decent monitors and a room that doesn't colour the sound too much with resonnance. Use reference tracks. Find something that you like the sound of, put it in the PT session, and try to emulate the mix with EQ, dynamics and panning. Then bounce it and checkout how it sounds on other systems; in the car, at a friends place, on headphones, and try to learn how it "translates" from what you hear when you mix. Best of luck to you. |

Re: What Would You Guys Do With This Video
love that album. and that lick.
- are you recording the guitar into the interface? you should be. - are you taking that into PT to eq/shape/effext? you should be. ----- on eq, turn the knobs until you are happy.....Im not joking. Listen to that album and specifically the rythm guitar and emulate that while listening to your recorded part..... just make sure as Ben said.....your not to reliant on headphone, your Mixing room has some basic treatment.....a little is better than nothing. |

Re: What Would You Guys Do With This Video
Hey guys, thanks for the replies. I am not sure why it wouldn't work on a mobile device. I have an iPhone and it works fine. Its my first video so Im sure ill figure out more on how to make sure it works on everything.
I did mic up the am and go through my mbox mini and I do use monitor speakers. Not very good ones, they were about $150 from sweet water, they are samson active bt4, nothing special. Using the headphones helps me for laying down the track. Otherwise my mic will pic up the studio monitor playback. The headphones also help with hearing the song better as I'm playing along. What do you guys do? As far as eq, shape, and effects, i didnt use anything. what you hear is straight outta the amp and into the mic. Thats what i was trying to get some feedback on because I opened up the eq in pro tools and have no clue what to do lol. There are tutorials on youtube so I'm gonna watch some of those and just mess around. Thanks guys, ill try to post some stuff after I mix it. |

Pure mix.net - maybe a little more pricy...(idk maybe not) but I like the extra effort those guys put on the videos. I'm not saying pro tools experts is bad, their not, but when you can watch a video with a guy who mixed Black Sabbath, The Chilli Peppers and Adele.....I think he wins every time. |
